Sunday, September 22, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN 5 Rush week experiences teaeli many lessons To actives Now that rush week is over and every house got the smoothest bunch on the campus and the ac tives revel in the happiness of the fact that gold is where you pledge it, we have made a thorough sur vey of the entire rushing situation and are now prepared to give ad vice on how to get your man or woman. Wear your oldest and most com fortable clothes and to hades with your hair. It all gives that devil-may-care air and gives the rushee a change from all those other dressed up sororities. Never, neer, under any circum stances remember a rushee's name, face, or anything about her. If you can not possibly forget her name, perhaps you can distort it unrecognizably. It's much too much trouble to get it right, and it would probably shock the rushee if vou did. Serve the stickiest, most undi- gestible concoctions possible at all teas. Statistics prove that a rushee can live for four anil one-one-half days solely on tea and olive sand wiches before prostrations. It greatly weakens their resistance and makes them suckers for your old one-two. Gush over your rushee even if you're not the gushing type; put vour hand on her arm, her shoul dor. or around her waist ( mascu line style); look soulfully into her eyes and burst tearfully into your song... what if you can't sing, it's impressive as hell. Pound her, propagandize against your rivals, never give her chance to think things over. In short, work her over. If you can get her hysterical, she is practi cally yours. Whenever you see any of your Bisters you haven't seen all sum mer, for heaven's sake ignore the rushee. . .she's not worth it all and besides you probably won't get her. Just forget the rushee and dash over and bubble over the above mentioned sister. Very im pressive move too. Impresses her how crazy all the sisters are over each other. The night before bids go in, put all the names of the rushees in hat, draw out the desired number, send them in . . . and then go home and pray; you'll need to, In the same way, advice to the men is as simple as counting to ten in Sanskrit. One . . . good way to get a rushee is to ignore him. What you can't have you want so hell prob ably come dashing around to the House and ask you to pledge him Two . . . spooks for hint to date on his evening dates with vou should he sufficient to pledge him Hell decide vou cant do anv worse by him. Three ... to one odds that it's great idea to let the rushee sit off in a coiner ami think things over . . . he'll probably lie saying to himself, "Gosh, these are awell fellows." Four . . . rushees off In a cor Her by themselves without an hc live around Is really great stuff They'll of course be getting to gether and deciding what a great lodge you have. Five ... in Bill's coupe out to the picnic makes things .so clubby.

Keep at him and he'll appreciate your helping Mm. Nine . . . o'clock Is the proper time to call for an eight o'clock liiHhee. It puts the rushee in sus pense and he'll enjoy your p.trty no much more when he finally gets there.

A. degree with hon ors from the University of Nebras ka last June, has accepted an as sistantship in the Spanish and Por tuguese department at the Univer sity of Wisconsin for the current year. education Extra-curricular activities are similar to athletics in that they both observe scholastic require merits. The regulations governing activities were adopted by the uni versity so that students would not neglect their academic work in favor of activities. No student who is not regularly eni oiled in the university or who is not carrying 12 hours of aca demic work satisfactorily is able to represent the university on any athletic team, on the staffs of the publications, clubs, boards or any other university organiza tion. A student who participates in extia funicular activities must have completed 27 hours in the two preceding semesters at the university. Must past 12 hours. Anyone not passing 12 hours at the end of the semester is de barred automatically from repre senting the university in an activ ity. For example: If student is working on one of the publica tions and at the end of the ee mester is failing he is not eligible to apply for a position before the university publications board. Such a student must life his aca demic standing above the require ments before he may participate again. May reduce hours.

USC follows load of state board in education Following the lead of the Ne liaska State Planning Board for a leniodcling of the state educa tional system, President Robert C.onlim Sproul of the University of Californiu is now considering a plan to place higher ami lower education under separate direc tion. The lecommendations of a Ne biHska Mibcoiiimittee submitted to the state planning board lust f-piing included the use of the uni versity for all graduate work, cor respomlence courses and profes sional training except that for teachers. By the proposed plan one of the state normal schools would be converted Into n trade ! school and technical training in hi;h schools would lie encouraged. The T'Ihh submitted to President Sprout calls for the control of all education above junior college by a single board of education, and the limitation of graduate instruc tion to the utute institution. I To ex-rusliees And so it is that after rush weeks are over that we set foith here those things which are proper and improper for you who have pledged. Mayhaps you, too, vio lated these most important hints. For women pledges. A pair of horn rims, coupled with constant and self - conscious chatter of Freud, Montaigne, and Post - Impressionalism is also a wower. They . won't have the vaguest idea of what you are talk ing about and will immediately decide that you're the intellectual type. Since the scholastic pressure is always terrific, they'll snap you up, Or maybe just plain snap at you. Informality is the mode of the day. Hand your used chewing gum to the extended hands of the receiving line as you come in; fix your girdle anytime that you feel like it, and if you feel like sitting on the floor and pulling ""tr shoes off . . . well, deary, o When asked if you have any preference in sororities, smile sweetly and say you just can't make up your mind. All the girls are so lovely to you. Or, if you prefer, promise to pledge all the sororities. This will get you just oodles of bids, and you can talk about it for months afterward. For men pledges. Be on your guard and don't let them fox you. If they say their lodge is the best and the greatest, ask them why. It's awfully great sport to hear them stumble around. Don't fail to stand up each house at least once on dates. Thid keeps them all guessing. It's a good policy to promise all of the frats that you will join their house. Then you will be as popular as a low cut even ing dress. Quickly tell the fellows that you really don't like them. It makes them feel as if you're already a good brother. Never, never hide your gum under the chair at meals but stick it behind your ears for rechew. This brings out the point of your knowing how to take care of your things. Feint out completely at one or two parties. It allows their mother instinct to come out when they ; have to take care of you. Finally, tell them that you've de 1 eided you can't afford a frat. And . ou probably can't. Counselors change time of meeting Board meeting of Co-ed Connsel- taite place. All of the "big sisters" will be named by Friday. Any freshman woman should phone Miss Bullock if she has not been notified by then. i CLASSIFIED I J 1 1 10c Per Line WAN'I'KI) A student Mciini'iinist tor aliout Iwenty hours weikly.
